Hiking Route Visit to the New Volcano of La Palma
Description
Enjoy a magnificent and unforgettable hiking route to discover the new volcano of La Palma. •Duration: 3:30-4h, round trip •Distance: 8 kilometers •Difficulty: medium The route is now approximately 8km, duration of 3:30-4h, and with a slope of -300m/+300m. We get much closer to one of the volcano's craters (previously about 400m from a crater, now 1m from the edge of another of the many craters it has). The ground is still volcanic ash. Meeting point: La Palma Outdoor (C/ Antonio Pino Pérez, Nº1 in El Paso) at 08:45 Due to weather conditions, the route can be modified and made linear to the Las Manchas neighborhood. The duration would be the same, the only difference would be that the difference in elevation would be +100m/-600m and the distance would be 6.5 km. They would be dropped off again at the La Palma Outdoor office.

Thanks to our guide Roman. He did a brilliant job to all of us. We got a bunch of all information needed around the volcanic area and it’s history.We would highly recommend that tour well organized by the El Paso Outdoor Office.BrJoachim and Sabine
Incredibly great hike through fascinating volcanic landscape with Juan, who was a very competent and super friendly guide.
It was very bright and therefore stunning views with a great guide! Thank you Theresa for all your knowledge and good vibes!
Very well organized and excellent guide in every way
We took the Volcano Tajogaite tour with Aldara…she was great. She explained how volcano’s work in a way everyone could understand and she explained how Tajogaite was different from the other volcano’s I have seen…..it gave me a much greater understanding of volcanos. She explained how the volcanos has impacted the local community….both good and bad. I would definitely do this tour again,
The tour itself was well organised but parking was quite difficult with narrow streets and no space to park near the start of the venue
An interesting tour with fantastic views of the volcano. Our guide Aldara was superb and provided informative insight into the impact of the volcano on landscape, nature, environment, community and society.
Good handling, good event, gladly again.
In addition to being a beautiful beautiful walking tour, I would like to note that our guide Bebe is a fantastic guide with a lot of humor and knowledge. In addition to having a lot of knowledge, she involved us in the culture by asking questions instead of telling the story directly herself. That certainly kept us interested. Highly recommended.
The driver Bebe made an interesting and impressive hiking tour with us. It was a lot of fun.
